The Ultimate Online Destination for Black Brides
Don't Let This Happen to You!
Don’t you hate attending an outdoor affair like a wedding — dressed to the nines in your Sunday Best — and your heels sink into the grass, dirt, etc. It absolutely sucks! Plus, it can ruin your shoes. Until recently, the only real way around this was wearing wedges. But, check this out! [Read more...]
Like the River Hair Salon in Atlanta, GA created this gorge (!) style.
In between mailing Save-the-Dates (Who knew it would take so long!), finalizing centerpieces, spending way too much time on the Pantone and Dessy websites looking at shades of purple and trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life, I have begun to ponder how I will wear my hair on my wedding day. Okay, let me “keep it all the way 100″ as the kids say — my hairstylist has begun to ponder how I will wear my hair on my wedding day. And she gave me homework. She suggested that I show her pictures of what I like/have in mind. Yet another task for my growing to-do list. [Read more...]
If you feel my wedding is too expensive to attend, staying home is always an option.
I had a completely different post scheduled for today. But when I received a link to this article from my cousin, I knew I had to share it in this week’s BPOTW. Said article from MSN delves into the topic of wedding costs, particularly costs of weddings for guests and especially attendants. Check out this snippet: [Read more...]
Keaira Lashae makes working out fun!
Remember my fitness goals at the top of the year? Yeah those. Well, um. What had happened was…I’ve only managed to pull off a couple of those goals thus far. Like most planning brides, I definitely want to be as toned as possible for my wedding day but the days following my nuptials are (even more) important, too. This is about making a lifestyle change. The truth is I always feel better after working out but the discipline to start is — grrr! However the other day I stumbled upon a Keaira Lashae video. [Read more...]
Honeymoon Dreamin': I snapped this pic while in South Africa a few years ago. (And yes, those gorgeous calla lilies grow WILD there!)
Blame it on the unseasonably chilly temps in New York City but I’ve been thinking about vacations a lot these days. Which has me pondering about honeymoon registries… First and foremost, contrary to traditional belief, I don’t think they’re tacky (as long as it isn’t mentioned anywhere on the invitation). Whether or not I will actually use them for my own union is up for debate but I do think modern registries like those offered by Amazon and Hatch My House are super cool and practical. But back to honeymoon registries…There are several out there and since I will be checking them out with the beau pretty soon to see if they fit our desires and needs, I figured I should share my findings here on Triple B.

How cool is this to incorporate into your wedding day?
Between finalizing Save the Dates that need to mailed yesterday, corresponding with a growing number of wedding vendors, completing a freelance story (It’s coming P!), searching for a Triple B social media intern, organizing an exciting Triple B photo shoot and trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life — I still manage to find awesome wedding ideas in the form of images on the Web to share on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. However, the above pic moved me so much that I had to make it my Pick of the Week, too! [Read more...]
It’s no secret I love a quality scented candle. And an affordable one with great packaging to boot? I’m in! So when I discovered CC BlaQ, the candle creator started by former ESSENCE Magazine staffer Nina Burke, I was pretty darn excited. Here’s why: [Read more...]
Ever since The Huffington Post published this piece about “unplugged weddings” the bridal industry has been buzzing even more about them. (Truthfully the term is a couple years old.) And since I promised in the comments of this post that I would address the trend here on BBB I decided to make it my Pick of the Week. In short, an unplugged wedding is one that discourages guests from taking pics and moreover frowns upon Tweeting, Facebooking, Intagraming, etc. during the affair. Here are the immediate benefits to unplugged nuptials: [Read more...]
While at the “After I Do” event I hosted earlier this month, I discovered a neat new resource that’s perfect for the creative and sentimental bride and groom. Personal Wrapping Paper is one of those things that makes you say to yourself, “Why didn’t anyone think of this before?!” [Read more...]
